The Business A very well established business which has been in the present hands since 2002 and is now available due to health problems and retirement. The guest house derives much income from repeat trade and is run by a husband and wife team. When the agents inspected this business in early March £18,000 of bookings had been received for the coming months. This business should bounce back very well.
The agents are informed that the business achieved a turnover of £67,802 in 2017 but due to ill health the number of rooms let fell to six and the business effectively closed for 5 months and brought the 2018 turnover down to £51,208. The business ticks over on 6 bedrooms now but with all nine rooms in use the owners believe a turnover of £81,770 is projected.
